It used to be done via the cleanup script, but people complained.
Doing it in real-time has the advantage of .. well .. being real
time without so many delays within the duration of cleanup -> cleanup.
Some companies have heavily loaded databases so in order to minimize
downtime they run the cleanup script weekly.
I guess if there was a demand for it, it could be user-configurable.
Patches will be accepted if there is a demand for it.
